Cellpic Sunday — Sunday Potpourri

John Steiner, the blogger behind Journeys With Johnbo, has this prompt he calls Cellpic Sunday in which he asks us to post a photo that was taken with a cellphone, tablet, or another mobile device. He invites us to participate in this cellphone photo prompt by creating our own CellPic Sunday post and linking it back to his.

I haven’t taken very many photos recently so I started surfing through my archives to come up with some interesting photos to share with you. They all date back to May 2015 and were taken on my iPhone 6.

This first one is a cat scratching stand that had seen better days. Our cat had scratched down to the wood frame and my wife and I decided it was time to get rid of it. So before we lugged it off to the dump, I took this photo to show the destructive powers of our cat’s claws.

I took this next photo on one of my last business trips before I retired. I think it was a Jet Blue flight but I’m not 100% sure of that. Anyway, you can see that I wasn’t in the first class cabin.

And finally, my wife, our dog, and I were walking around Golden Gate Park and we came across these four baby skunks. Naturally our dog wanted to investigate, but we had to hold her back because we didnt know where the mother skunk was, and if she saw our dog heading toward her babies, we didnt want her rushing out to protect them by spraying our dog.

Update

I just went out into my backyard, walked to our rear fence and took this picture (with my iPhone 15 Pro Max) looking down the very steep hill on my back neighbor’s yard.

Today is May 26th. Our town has a mandate that requires all weeded areas to be cut down or cleared by May 31st as a prevention for the spread of wildfires. As you can see, the guy who owns the property behind us has yet to cut back his weeds, and if he doesn’t do that by May 31, he will be in violation and I’ll have to contact the town fire prevention group to come out and slap his wrist. I hate being a tattletale, but….

Anyway, if you’re in the U.S., have a pleasant Memorial Day tomorrow. If you live elsewhere, have a pleasant Monday.
